Fund Campaign
Begins in Area
A $250.000 fund-raising drive by the Athens Boy's Club
is underway in the Athens area to raise funds for construc
tion of a new clubhouse facility, according to campaign direc
tor Edsel Benson
Benson said the current clubhouse at 301 Prince avenue is
totally obsolete in relation to the needs of the club's 725 mem
bers.
The drive director said the Local Boys' Club is a home away
from home for many local children. In many instances. Benson
said, the club provides the love and security that these children
may be missing at home
As college students. Benson added. University students can
appreciate the difficulty one may have in ascertaining his place
in society. In a way the Boys Club helps youngsters establish a
sense of identity that is so necessary in today's fast-moving so
ciety. he continued.
Contributions have been divided into three major areas.
Dean Lindsey Cowen, dean of the University's School of Law, is
head of University contributions The other areas are advanced
gifts and special gifts.
The campaign began earlier this spring and will continue
until the $250,000 goal has been reached. Benson said. So far
contributions have reached 50 per cent of the goal, he added.
The new clubhouse will be just south of the Oconee Street
Bridge on a 13.5 acre plot donated to the club, Benson said. The
building will house a gymnasium, sports equipment, a combina
tion game and dining room, exercise room, crafts shop, library
and a complete kitchen, the director said
The new facility will accomodate 1000 voungesters. Benson
said, and when completed, will stand as a high point of com
munity involvement.

Theatre Presents
Play for Children
By MARTHA GAITHER
Technical difficulties abound
in the Uni versity Thea
tre's production of the child
ren's play “Simple Simon."
which will be presented on
Thursday. May 15, at 3 p.m.;
Friday, May 16, at 3 p.m. and
8 p.m ; and Saturday. May 17.

Lloyd Williamson, the pro

with the task of making the
set appear to be an elegant
and dreamy fantasy land
which will appeal to children

create a version of a Roman
esque locale with a lyrical,
fantastic appearance while
integrating all the parts of the
stage set. according to Wil
liamson.
The many technical prob
lems dictated the movement
and flow of Williamson s de
sign. A magic tree that grows
had to be positioned so that it
would be the focal point of the
set It, however, does not
appear until the middle of the
play, so a different point of
focus was necessary lor the
first half of Simple Simon.
A three-foot hole, into
which the princess must fall,
had to be positioned by the
tree. The queens entrance-
way provided another prob
lem in that it should not be a
major focal point of the set
Because Simple Simon
is a children's play, the action
had to be placed as close to
the audience as possible, vir
tually eliminating the use of
the rear areas of the stage
One scene in the play takes
place in an uglv. foreboding
dungeon that had to be de
signed so that it is not too
great a contrast with the child
ish fantasy expressed by the
rest of the set
Construction of the* set for
' Simple Simon will require
much labor and ingenuity
The rounded towers used in
the play must be mounted and
paint<*d on wagons before
being moved on to the stage
itselt Many small but intri
cately detailed items must be
constructed to attain special
effects
Williamson says he is en
thusiastic about being able to
design Simple Simon" be
cause die fantasy in a child
ren s play has given great
freedom to his imagination
For tickets and further in
formation call the depart
ment of theatre and drama,

The SGA asked for another
meeting when the committee
postponed its recommenda
tion after hearing arguments
on the issue at a May 1 meet
ing
Dr Entrekin said at that
tune that he preferred to
leave the decision to the
committee aftei it is assigned
new members and a new
chairman at the University
Council's Spring-quarter
meeting Council action
therefore would have been
delayed until summer or fall
quarter
He apparently changed his
mind after Seabolt and Gwen
Pittman, minister to academ
ic affairs, wrote to him. to Dr
George Parthemos. vice pres
ident of instruction, and to
University President Fred. C.
Davison requesting another
meeting
The SGA is asking that bas
ic P.E. grades - those from
the required freshman and
sophomore courses — be tak
en out of grade-point aver
ages. The executive commit
tee has the power to recom
mend action to the University
Council, the faculty's govern
ing body, which in turn can
recommend action by Presi
dent Davison.
